RAW Audio

This setting applies only to the Video capture mode and creates a
separate .wav file for your video, in addition to the standard .mp4 audio
track. You can select the level of processing to apply to the RAW audio
track. This setting is useful if you want a separate .wav file to share or use
in post-processing.

Option

Description

Low

Applies minimal processing. Ideal if you apply
audio processing in post-production.

Med

Applies processing based on the Manual
Audio Control setting (wind and/or stereo). If
Manual Audio Control is turned off, the camera
automatically switches between wind filtering
and stereo audio.

High

Applies full audio processing (automatic gain and
AAC encoding).

PRO TIP: Audio files in .wav format are captured in the same location
and with the same file name as .mp4 files. To access them, insert your
microSD card into a card reader and locate the files with your computer’s
file explorer.

Reset
This option resets all Protune settings to their default values.
